This is the 7th book in the Aubrey/Maturin series, and another fantastic entry. I started reading this one at the end of my pregnancy with my 2nd baby and my copy from the library sat idle for about 3 months after my daughter was born before I got around to reading again. It was such a delight to pick it up and rediscover how utterly engrossing and funny these books are. There's lots of espionage in this one, some new places, a giant smash-up of a ship, and other various enjoyable hijinks in Napoleonic era Europe. At this point, I am really glad that there are still a dozen more books in this series-- I don't want it to end.

As I attempt to complete the series I did not read the synopsis for this book. I am glad that I did not, as this allowed the story to unfold and surprise. 7 books into the series and the delight provided continues. I would recommend as a one off and as a continuous storyline.

25% of the books is spent to catch up a new reader with the story so far. The rest of the 75% is not very good either.
